Fashion Parfums de Marly Palatine

Palatine is a fresh, floral, Musky fragrance created for Women in 2024.

Review

This fragrance is immediately bright and fresh, and feels like Springtime on the skin. Pear is given a gentle boost from the citrus notes, while Vanilla adds a hint of sweetness to the slightly powdery tones of Violet Petal and Orris. A touch of Musk adds just the right amount of depth. It very much suits the essence of Violet, which is modest and innocent. Its gentle quality makes it perfect for any time, place, or occasion, and while it remains gentle it will still last most of the day on the skin. While it will work in any season, it will work exceptionally in the Spring and Summer, and will give your senses a boost during the dreary seasons. It has been compared to Yves Saint Laurent Libre.

Inspiration

Palatine’s composition revolves around the Violet Petal, a once “traditional” fragrance ingredient, and gives it a modern and bright essence.

Notes

Mandarin and Bergamot bring a bright boost to the Pear note. Violet Petal and Orris sit at the heart of a Floral Bouquet, giving the composition a gentle powdery essence. Vanilla brings a touch of sweetness to the blend, while Musk brings a gentle depth that is helped along with Sandalwood and Patchouli. The entire composition remains gentle, soft, and lasting.
